Come on baby light my fire

Hands down, this Perfect Match necklace gets the award for most creative expression of true love handcrafted out of metal and meant to dangle from your neck.

Far more original than an “eternity band” and definitely more affordable, the matchbox pendant is roughly stamped with Perfect Match and has two little matches inside. And because the boxes fit together, you can wear the pendant open, closed, or somewhere in the middle. It’s pretty snazzy as a 925 sterling necklace, but there’s something about the brass (shown) that just works for me.

It’s too late for Valentine’s Day, obviously – especially because etsy seller Yellowgoat ships from Hong Kong. But anniversaries and birthdays happen all year round. –Liz
